I'd like to warn that using these new pass devices doesn't protect malicious code from bricking your DS.  Flashing prevents that problem.

THERE IS A BAD SIDE to using these products.  Be warned.  The more popular the DS gets, the more malicious crap is going to float around.  I've already been hit once (what was Darkfader thinking??) - without having flashed my DS, I would have a classic DS brick right now.

But attempting to flash doesn't mean you'll automatically not brick it either. Even some experienced flashers have had weird problems crop up with the new US DSLs.

And you won't be able to use sleep mode without a carrying around an actual game cart either.

Quite true .. however, I always have a DS game in there.  Most of the time it is a game that runs too slow on the Supercard (like Animal Crossing, Lost Magic, etc).  Not really a big deal.

I agree - there are chances either way.

I doubt we see the bricker again. Hell when was the last time anyone got hit and how many people did get hit when it was circulating, 7,lol?

I agree .. however - the more popular the DS gets (and it's just GAINING speed), the more goofy crap is going to circulate.

Remember how invincible Firefox was to security problems until it got popular?  Wasn't that it didn't have any - just not enough people using it to find out (or make it worth the hacker's time to screw them).  Now they have weekly issues appear (Opera user here - damn proud).

I just want to make sure all the paths and reprocussions are visible by everyone BEFORE they make a choice what direction to go.

MML pisses me off having to wait another three seconds before I can get into gaming.  I hope the other products don't do that.  I have a Superkey coming, we'll see how that works.

I've also posted on my forum about some strange results from MML - when you power it up, a strange pixel pattern appears on the bottom screen during powerup.  Probably TOTALLY BENIGN, but I don't like stuff like that - bugs me.

I really hope we NEVER get hit with another bricker ... but you can't discount it.
